She loves experimenting and playing with lots of different techniques and materials.  She was a teacher and now works with local charities\, festivals\, community groups and individuals exploring and developing work and ideas.  She says “I get a huge buzz out of working with people and hearing what they want to say\, that is  when the magic truly happens!” Sharon believes in having a voice and knows that art enables you to shout out about what is important to you. \n  \nFREE EVENT \n2.00-2.30pm Ripon Spa Gardens
